Every Managed Service plan has essentially the same features except for the allocated hours!
Work items shown are typical representatives only. Due to more time allocated, Enterprise plans have more focus time from a Senior Consultant and allow time to dive into deeper optimization.
Our Pardot Managed Services pricing is based on the number of hours per month selected and the duration of your up-front commitment.
Plans with fewer hours per month are typically suitable for small to mid-level organizations needing to set up and optimize Pardot to make their marketing efforts more effective. Plans with more hours per month are typically suitable for enterprise organizations needing end-to-end customer journey management and revenue attribution with Pardot and Salesforce.

How Managed Services Works
Managed Services from Optimal Business Consulting are designed for organizations interested in maintaining an ongoing competitive advantage through month-to-month access to award-winning expertise, strategy and best practice guidance, plus hands-on administration and optimization, support and training.
We get together via web conference at the start of each month to work out priorities and milestones. Throughout the month, our experts execute on agreed upon tasks. We also review task status and agree priorities for the upcoming month as a ‘monthly sprint’. This provides a sort of Agile project management method of addressing current priorities.
There are no annual contracts required. Start with an initial three-month Pardot Managed Services commitment then continue Managed Services month-to-month for as long as you continue to realize value. Cancel at any time after the initial three-month period.

Providing OUTCOMES and VALUE
Not the right time for Managed Services?
If Managed Services isn’t the right fit for you right now, we also offer numerous one-time à la carte options.
Add Platforms
If you wish to add Salesforce Managed Services to your plan, we’ll ascertain how much effort should go towards Pardot and how much effort towards Salesforce. You determine the allocation; we agree together on the tasks.
Just get in touch and request additional platform support to start the discussion.
What is Managed Services?
Why do I need Managed Services?
Systems that are hurriedly set up can often result in more administrative time later on, when common mistakes, such as poorly constructed automation rules or scoring categories, are located and rectified. Managed Services take the pressure off your employees and keep them focused on their daily work. They also make your marketing expenses more predictable, because you select the number of hours needed each month.
